Reply To: InDesign/Prepress Myths

@its_betty: You are correct to be skeptical of that claim. Fonts DO lose their hinting when converted to outlines, and will change when printed… on lower-resolution devices. That's the key point. James works for Sells Printing, where they have high-res platesetters, etc.. In that world, it doesn't matter so much. But on a laser printer, or even at 1000 dpi, you will likely notice the difference between hinted type and outlined type.

@Marcus: I'm going to have to disagree with you about the 300 dpi. See earlier discussions above.
